factoring (plural factorings)
1A financial transaction whereby a business sells its accounts receivable to a third party (called a factor) at a discount.
2(mathematics) The process of factorization.
Factoring can refer to the following:
•Factoring (finance), a form of commercial finance
•Factorization, a mathematical concept
•Decomposition (computer science)
•A rule in resolution theorem proving, see Resolution (logic)#Factoring
In computer programming and software design, code refactoring is the process of restructuring existing computer code—changing the factoring—without changing its external behavior.

Holographic optical elements, like those generated by a Digital Micromirror Device (DMD), can be used to precisely control the position and state of individual trapped ions, which are promising candidates for qubits in quantum computers
A DMD chip, used in most projectors and some TVs
A DMD chip has on its surface several hundred thousand microscopic mirrors arranged in a rectangular array which correspond to the pixels in the image to be displayed. The mirrors and supporting mechanical structures are constructed using surface micromachining. The mirrors can be individually rotated ±10-12°, to an on or off state.
JFK Files Bombshell SHOCKS Israel–Here’s What Media Hid via @YouTube
After John F. Kennedy took office as US President in 1961, he put continuous pressure on Israel to open the plant to American inspection. Reportedly, every high-level meeting and communication between the US and Israeli governments contained a demand for an inspection of Dimona
The Shimon Peres Negev Nuclear Research Center(Hebrew: קריה למחקר גרעיני – נגב ע"ש שמעון פרס, formerly the Negev Nuclear Research Center, sometimes unofficially referred to as the Dimona reactor) is an Israeli nuclear installation located in the Negev desert, about thirteen kilometers (eight miles) south-east of the city of Dimona.
Construction began in 1958 and its heavy-water nuclear reactorbecame active sometime between 1962 and 1964.
Israel claims that the nuclear reactor and research facility are for general "research purposes into atomic science",[1] but the reactor has been involved in the production of nuclear materials for use in Israel's nuclear weaponsprogram
The BBB, a specialized barrier formed by endothelial cells in brain capillaries, tightly regulates the movement of substances between the blood and the brain. Ion channels and transporters within the BBB are crucial for:
•Maintaining ion and fluid balance:
They regulate the movement of ions like sodium (Na+), potassium (K+), chloride (Cl-), and calcium (Ca2+) to maintain optimal concentrations in the brain's interstitial fluid, which is vital for neuronal function.
•Nutrient transport:
Specific transporters and channels facilitate the uptake of essential nutrients and metabolites needed for brain function.
•Waste removal:
They help remove waste products from the brain back into the bloodstream.
•Protection:
The BBB, with its tight junctions and ion transport systems, protects the brain from toxins, pathogens, and inflammation.
Examples of ion channels in the BBB:
•Voltage-gated potassium channels (Kv7):
These channels, particularly Kv7.1, Kv7.4, and Kv7.5, are expressed in brain microvessels and endothelial cells. They play a role in regulating cell excitability and reducing the permeability of the BBB.
•Sodium-potassium pump (Na+, K+-ATPase):
This pump maintains the sodium and potassium gradient across the BBB, influencing fluid balance and nutrient transport.
•Calcium transporters (e.g., Na+-Ca2+ exchanger):
These regulate calcium levels in the brain, which is important for neuronal signaling and BBB function.
Dysfunction of ion channels and the BBB:
•Neurological disorders:
Dysregulation of ion channels and transporters in the BBB has been implicated in various neurological conditions, including stroke, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, vascular dementia, and Alzheimer's disease.
•Ischemic brain edema:
Impaired ion transport can contribute to the development of brain edema (swelling) following stroke, further damaging brain tissue.
•Neurodegeneration:
Altered ion homeostasis in the BBB can disrupt neuronal function and contribute to the progression of neurodegenerative diseases.
Therapeutic potential:
Understanding the mechanisms of ion channel and transporter regulation in the BBB is crucial for developing new therapeutic strategies for neurological disorders. Targeting specific channels or transporters could help restore proper ion balance, reduce inflammation, and potentially protect against neuronal damage
